Appealing to the Commissioner

If you have already been through the two steps of making your request and requesting a review and are still not happy, you can appeal to the Scottish Information Commissioner

You must submit your complaint to the Commissioner within 6 months of receiving our review response.

You can request an appeal by accessing the Online Appeal Service on the Commissioners’ website. This is the best way to make an appeal, it provides help in real time and collects exactly what the Commissioner needs so they can investigate your case quickly.
